MI vs DC Live Commentary
MI vs DC Match Preview
It is a virtual knock-out. MI, with 14 points, can secure their place with a win, while DC, sitting at 13 points, need a victory to stay alive in the playoff race. MI’s winning run came to a halt after their three-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans before the IPL was suspended. Now, MI will play a game after 15 days.
DC, despite a strong start, have faltered, winning just one of their last five games, with their pace attack weakened by Mitchell Starc’s absence. MI’s formidable batting, led by Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, will look to exploit Wankhede’s batting-friendly pitch, while their pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, and Deepak Chahar poses a threat. DC rely heavily on KL Rahul’s form, but his recent knee injury could be a concern. With rain looming, the toss could be pivotal.
Recent Form
- Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians: L W W W W (4 wins in last 5 matches)
- Delhi Capitals: L NR L L W (1 win in last five matches)
Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium pitch is a batsman’s paradise, known for true bounce and short boundaries. In IPL 2025, it has favored high-scoring games, with an average first innings score of around 170. Early swing may assist fast bowlers, but spinners could find grip later. Teams batting second have won 66 of 121 IPL matches here, suggesting a chasing advantage due to dew.
